Leroy Sane was brilliant in the first half but it was David Silva who took control of the contest after the break. It was his cross that Bernardo Silva converted to give City the lead and thereafter Chelsea’s midfield were just chasing David Silva’s shadow.

Stat of the match

Chelsea suffered a fourth consecutive away loss in all competitions for the first time in 14 years, with Antonio Conte’s men losing to Arsenal, Watford, Manchester United and City.

Conte’s decision to drop Alvaro Morata not only robbed his team of a natural striker but also left their star man, Eden Hazard, out of position and constantly frustrated. The Blues defended well in the first period but they were unable to offer any attacking threat as Hazard remained anonymous, and Conte waited too long to make alterations. Morata was stripped and ready to come on at one point but he sat back down and only then emerged in the final minute.
